How to Level Up Your Shopkeeper Fast in Shop Heroes

Shopkeeper experience is granted by selling items to customers. You gain 0 experience from using the Trade House.

Each item has a flat amount of experience when sold to a customer (the same item sold to a customer will always grant the same experience). The amount of experience is ONLY based on the Base Price of the item (at 0 crafts). Surcharging, suggesting, discounting, impatient customers, or having the price increase upgrade has no impact on the experience gained.

Each quality of item has its own base price, so a Great Base Price will grant more experience than a Common Base Price of the same item. The amount of experience gained with an increased quality is exactly proportional to the base price. 1 Great has the same base price as 2 Commons. Selling 1 Great grants both the same amount of Gold and Experience as selling 2 Commons.

2.) How is Networth calculated?

Networth includes the following: Shop Upgrades, Furniture Value (and upgrades), City Investments, Hired Workers Salary (their current value at the level), Heroes Equipped Items (it's technically yours since you lend it to them)

Networth does NOT include the following:

Current gold, Inventory.

3.) You can only see Equipment in the Trade House up to 5 levels higher than your shopkeeper level. If you are level 10, you can see every item in the game from level 1 through 15. As soon as you become level 11, you can see 1 through 16. You can also see any item you have unlocked or that has been added to your inventory.

For recommendations of what items to buy, see the images below.

4.) You can only sell items to your customers that are +7/-7 Item levels versus the Hero level, and only items that they can equip. If your heroes are not high enough level, you can pay directly into their Hero Building to give them experience. Or you can send them on quests.
